f4 or f4i???
 
Hey guys, new member here. I'm seriously thinking about getting a used 600 cbr, but can't decide whether it's worth the extra cash for the f4i rather than the f4. I know about some of the main differences (the ones listed in the wikipedia article): fuel injection, lighter components, new dash layout, different fairings (though I think both look pretty awesome). Be specific, given the same condition of the bike, would you pay $500 more, or $1000 more etc for the f4i over the f4?

I would mostly commute on the bike, but maybe do a track day once in a while (have been planning on doing one, but too embarrassed to try on my current slow-ass ride). I also ride 2-up fairly frequently, if that matters (I heard the f4i has a higher passenger perch, not sure if that's more/less comfortable).

Thanks for your help! [sm=thanx.gif][sm=thanx.gif]

really wont save that much between the two unless you go after one of the last year models offered for the F4i. And the F4 doesnt have lighter components lol. If you dont mind working with carbs the F4 is great. If you never have nor want to deal with carbs get the F4i. What ya see n the EFI is the main difference. I dont think a F4i is any faster than my F4, just maybe a lil smoother throttle response.

Giday and welcome JM, to the CBRForum:D

I am no 600 expert mate ..but I am sure some of the 600 guys will help you out ..

I do not think either has a super good passenger seating position ?
Like most choices , you may have to just decide on how much the rides are going fore that you look at on the day..:eek:

Stay safe and when you pick her up ..take it easy for a while to get used to her ;)

If you've never worked on a carb before I'd go with the F4i. Although the F4 is just as good of a bike. Good luck
